Birth Stone Meanings

birth stones




Do you know what your birth stone is and what it means?

Depending on the month that you were born a special birth stone can be assigned to you and this is thought to be considered as your Birth/Gem Stone or your Good Luck Stone.

Some mothers even have rings made with the stone of each family member which I think is a lovely and special idea.

I had never really thought about my special gem stone meaning until my godfather died and I was left a ruby cufflink which my aunt had made into a necklace for me. Ruby was my uncle's birth stone.

Being born in October, my special stone is the Opal. What is your birth stone?

If you look at the table below you will see that there is a modern and ancient stone for each month although some of the gem stones are the same.

The modern list was created about a century ago as a supplement to the ancient one and a person can thus choose whichever gem stone they are most drawn to.
